Amid rising tensions, a Palestinian leader is asking the United States for help. They’re pleading to stop Israel from launching an attack in Rafah.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says the US is the only country that can stop Israel from attacking Rafah, the southern Gaza city where more than a million people are taking refuge.

Mr. Abbas, who leads areas in the West Bank, warned that an attack in Rafah could force Palestinians to flee Gaza. Israel has promised to launch an offensive in Rafah.

Meanwhile President Joe Biden reminded Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of his stance on Rafah during a phone call on Sunday.

The US has repeatedly said it cannot support a large-scale Israeli military operation in Rafah without seeing a credible plan to keep civilians out of harm’s way.

Meanwhile, the indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas over a potential ceasefire and the release of remaining hostages in Gaza have been further exposing divisions in Israel’s governing coalition.

According to resource, the current government “would not have the right to continue to exist” if a reasonable deal to return the hostages was not accepted.

On one hand, Hamas wants a permanent end to the war and withdrawal of all Israeli troops from Gaza, while Israel insists Hamas must be destroyed in Gaza and all hostages freed.

Amidst the turmoil, currently the world looks to the United States and other key stakeholders to engage in meaningful dialogue and work towards a peaceful resolution in Rafah.
